Re: lol
I feel the same way. I can't remember the last time I tried a crossword puzzle, but still I'm good with words so I thought I'd do okay. But my attempt at the demo was an epic fail. I got about 1/3 of the way through before I ran out of time. They shouldn't time it considering how long it takes to imput the letters. If I could use my keyboard then maybe. And anyway even some of the "super easy" questions were hard as far as I'm concerned - like the tennis star one? I don't follow professional tennis so how would I know that?
I have DJ HERO for the PS3 (my 360 has trouble reading discs)

Diva of Destiny,

Switch out of the Normal Challenge, and do Time Attack so you can take longer to finish.

Re: lol

Well I deleted the download. Terrible control and time limit. Not my thing I guess. Maybe that's why they put the word "Coffee" in the title. You really need coffee to play it fast. Why do game developers like to put time limits on games. A crossword puzzle should be about taking it easy, relaxing, think thoughtfully and slow. Why do we have to live in a fast paced world. WTF.

Re: lol

To be fair, it's apparently just the demo that renders the time limit ludicrously small.  As someone who bought the full version without bothering to try the demo, I can assure you that the full version gives you ninety minutes - that's an hour and a half - to solve each puzzle.  That's not fast-paced at all.  That's downright lethargic.

 

The interface is still bunk, though.  - ZM

I did not know that. Thanks for letting us know.
